[ Fury's death makes the news, of course. She's not entirely sure how Tony feels about it, knows that SHIELD sent him a very terse message that they and Captain America had the situation under control. They follow that up with an equally terse instruction to disregard official news sources, that Steve was working on a lead that would necessitate faking dissent between him and SHIELD.
The lack of contact from Steve was frustrating, but there wasn't actually anything further to go on and if Steve and Natasha needed help they'd find a way to reach them.
All of which became nothing but platitudes in the unraveling of everything. SHIELD wasn't Max's concern, this place, these people - she was tangential only to them through Tony, but she knew a few things. She knew his father had helped found SHIELD, knows Steve was his father's close friend all those years ago before the ice. And she knows that if she found the information about his parents with her skimming - well, Tony was actually scouring it. He found the information. He knows. So she sits back when she happens upon it, runs her hands over her face.
